Sargeson, Frank

New Zealander writer

pseudonym of Norris Frank Davey

born March 23, 1903, Hamilton, Waikato, N.Z.

died March 1, 1982, Auckland

novelist and writer of short stories whose ironic, stylistically diverse works made him the most widely known New Zealand literary figure of his day.

Sargeson studied the law and won admission as a solicitor before taking up writing in the late 1920s. His early work consisted principally of short stories, a number of which were first published in the United States, although Sargeson remained a lifelong resident of New Zealand. Collections include Conversations with My Uncle (1936), A Man and His Wife (1940), and That Summer (1946).

In his novels, from the early I Saw in My Dream (1949) to the later Joy of the Worm (1969) and Sunset Village (1976), he treated themes of social corruption and personal freedom in a variety of styles. The Collected Stories (1964) and The Stories of Frank Sargeson (1973) broadened his international readership.
